Perdoo

Perdoo is designed to assist in sorting and organizing your comic collection by utilizing metadata files stored within comic archives.\ Perdoo standardizes all your digital comics into a unified format (cb7, cbt, or cbz).\ It adds and/or updates metadata files using supported services.\ Unlike other tagging tools, Perdoo employs a manual approach when metadata files are absent, prompting users to enter the necessary Publisher/Series/Issue details for search purposes.
